[00:35.58]They sentenced me to 20 years of boredom
[00:43.56]For trying to change the system from within
[00:52.03]I’m coming now, I’m coming to reward them
[00:59.43]First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[01:10.27]
[01:14.55]I’m guided by a signal in the heavens (Guided, guided)
[01:23.07]I’m guided by this birthmark on my skin (I am guided by)
[01:30.15]I’m guided by the beauty of our weapons (Ooh, ooh)
[01:38.19]First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[01:49.58]I’d really like to live beside you, baby
[01:56.03]I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
[02:04.86]But you see that line there moving through the station?
[02:12.41]I told you, I told you, told you I was one of those
[02:24.57]Ah, you loved me as a loser, but now you’re worried that I just might win
[02:32.18]You know the way to stop me, but you don’t have the discipline
[02:39.62]How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
[02:48.37]First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[02:58.09]
[03:03.50]I don’t like your fashion business, mister
[03:11.25]And I don’t like these drugs that keep you thin
[03:19.14]I don’t like what happened to my sister
[03:26.85]First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[03:36.82]
[03:42.27]I’d really like to live beside you, baby
[03:49.97]I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
[03:57.74]But you see that line there moving through the station?
[04:05.47]I told you, I told you, told you I was one of those
[04:17.92]
[04:21.27]And I thank you for those items that you sent me, ha ha ha ha
[04:29.18]The monkey and the plywood violin
[04:37.03]I practiced every night, now I’m ready
[04:44.93]First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[04:53.68]I am guided
[04:59.96]Ah, remember me, I used to live for music (Baby)
[05:07.72]Remember me, I brought your groceries in (Ooh, baby, yeah)
[05:15.48]Well, it’s Father’s Day, and everybody’s wounded
[05:23.72]First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
